Sumario:Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a relatively rare myocardial disorder which is characterized by trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses within the left ventricle. LVNC is often asymptomatic but may present with heart failure, arrhythmias, or systemic thromboembolism. Uncommonly, patients with LVNC can present with syncope. In this article, we report one such presentation of this rare medical condition.
